O uso da Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f. e Curcuma longa L. no tratamento da inflamação e cicatrização de feridas: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The use of plants for treatment of plants for the treatment of plants suitable for modes and inflammation is common and popularly used for specific treatments for certain species, such as A. vera and C. longa. This work aimed to search about the use of A. vera and C.longa in inflammation and in the wound healing literature. The elaboration of a bibliographic survey was developed through a qualitative approach and bibliographic review, through a theoretical approach from a literature narrative. Google Scholar, Scielo and PubMed search platforms were used with keywords such as: healing, A. vera, C. longa, anti-inflammatory potential and healing potential. It may be significant that A. vera presents the action and proliferation of healing by playing the role of providing more oxygen, increasing vascularization and the amount of collagen for it to occur. C. longa, despite its low bioavailability and low water solubility, neutralizes free radicals, has the ability to

activate the body's own antioxidant enzymes. It acts as an example, as by pro- inflammatory pathways, NF-Kβ and TNF-α. Thus, its main action in the healing

process is in the inflammatory phase.
